    Little known true fact:

    Back when I was in the first year of Graduate School, my apartment-mates and I decided to throw a party. For reasons that are unclear, 30+ years later, the theme for our party was "Our Friend the Potato". We served vodka, "Spud-weiser", and made about 100 baked potatoes, with fixings (they were all eaten). We really wanted to find a Mr. Potato Head, to be Guest Of Honor and resident demi-god, but were unable to find one at the time. He missed a great party.

    We did crown a Miss Potato from among the females at the party. The winner was an easy pick, she wore potato chip earrings to the party. She was awarded a cardboard crown and a scepter (a raw potato on a stick).

    Mr. Potato Head is 1/4 Irish Potato and 1/4 French Fry. His grandfather came over to the USA on a boat in order to escape the Great potato famine.

    I've been told that is actually not exactly correct. He actually shot a man in Reno, just to watch him fry.

    A copycat, he shrewdly upstaged and stole the popularity from a little known actor named mr pumpkin head. Poor mr pumpkin head couldn't even afford to sue.

    He rarely talks about what he did before becoming a star, but rumor has it in his old neighborhood that there was a pimp named "Sweet Potato".
    Of course they don't look anything alike now, but with his removable features, who knows...

    Mrs. Potato head applied for the part of Cleopatra, or I should say for part of Cleopatra. She wanted a better nose.

    Mr. Potato Head believes in UFOs.

    Mrs. Potato Head does not.

    Oh the quarrels which ensue!

    He decided to put down roots after he met the Mrs. They had so many parts between them that they bought an a.part.ment and got busy sorting.
